I have a 1999 Vitara and need some suggestions on what to use. What is everyone else using?  ???

I have in the past used the triple edge silicone wiper blades, they stay
flexible and don't leave streaks as much as single edge blades.

I'm currently using the RainX wipers, as long as I clean them now and then they work pretty well.

RainX has two wiper blade lines - the Latitude is the more expensive of the two, and uses a "beam" design - I think it's well worth the premium price.

Hi

I have been using el cheepo "beam" blades for about 2 years and they do not last long. I recently (3 months ago) changed to Rain X premium (I think they are the Latitude) and the difference is night and day. They are holding up really nicely and I am pretty sure I will be purchasing them again at what ever point the are fully used up.

Best regards,
Tryggvi
